Don’t ANSWER That

So here’s the guy the White House demands be reinstated as El Jefe-for-Life in Honduras:

t’s been 89 days since Manuel Zelaya was booted from power. He’s sleeping on chairs, and he claims his throat is sore from toxic gases and “Israeli mercenaries” are torturing him with high-frequency radiation.

“We are being threatened with death,” he said in an interview with The Miami Herald, adding that mercenaries were likely to storm the embassy where he has been holed up since Monday and assassinate him.

I remember when we used to topple nutjobs like him. Now we subsidize them. And what happens when you subsidize things?

Casey, I think the reason it got reported with a straight face is that it makes the mockery that much more effective. Really, what can you possibly say to someone who claims Israeli mercenaries are bombarding him with radiation that’s suitable to print in a newspaper?
